Kerry Washington says she doesn”t look like herself on the cover of the April 4 edition of Adweek.

Her objections seem centered on how the skin tone on the cover looks lighter than that how Washington appears in person, according to Vox.

In her otherwise gracious Instagram post, in which she praises Adweek and the accompanying article, the “Scandal” and “Confirmation” actress doesn”t specifically address the possibility that Adweek photo editors lightened her skin for the cover image.

Still, she raises an issue that makes her “weary,” the use of Photoshop to alter the images of people so that they don”t look like themselves.

“I was taken aback by the cover,” she wrote. “Look, I”m no stranger to Photoshopping. It happens a lot. In a way, we have become a society of picture adjusters — who doesn”t love a filter?!? … I have had the opportunity to address the impact of my altered image in the past and I think it”s a valuable conversation. … It felt strange to look at a picture of myself that is so different from what I look like when I look in the mirror. It”s an unfortunate feeling.”

The past incident Washington apparently is referring to occurred last February, when InStyle had to defend itself against allegations that it had intentionally lightened Washington”s skin on a cover.

In response to Washington”s post, AdWeek”s Editorial Director James Cooper said the magazine only made “minimal adjustments.”

“Kerry Washington is a class act,” he said. “We are honored to have her grace our pages. To clarify, we made minimal adjustments, solely for the cover”s design needs. We meant no disrespect, quite the opposite. We are glad she is enthusiastic about the piece and appreciate her honest comments.”

Vox writer Carolyn Framke wasn”t buying the “minimal adjustments” excuse and pointed out the extent to which these kinds of digital photo alterations are a sore topic for prominent figures of color. Such “blanched images” have also impacted women like Lupita Nyong”o, Beyonc and supermodel Naomi Campbell, Framke said.

Nyong”o, in fact, has talked about how she used to feel “unbeautiful” because of her dark skin, saying in 2014 that she would see only pale skin lauded on TV and magazine covers, and constantly “experienced the same disappointment of being just as dark as I had been the day before.”

She said she needed to see other successful women celebrated for their dark skin, such as Anglo-Sudanese model Alek Wek — “a celebrated model, dark as night” — to help her shed that self-doubt.
